On a grim Friday evening in
November 1983 the weekend is once more beginning with Channel
Four's legendary Tube. Jools Holland pauses on the
threshold of a public lavatory and says "...and now Indians in
Moscow." Is this some hip new expression along the lines of
"Once in a blue moon"? Well, no. A music video explodes
onto the screen - a psychotic blonde singing a gruesome ditty
about killing and eating her father to the backing of a crazed
synth-punk calypso. Indians in Moscow have entered the
building...

Over the next nine months this
Hull band would repeatedly mug the music business, culminating in
a storming gig at the Camden Palace in August 1984, before
abruptly splitting up on the brink of fame and fortune. If they
had continued, who knows what shape mid-to-late eighties music
would have had?
